Champagne Taittinger Brut La Francaise

Champagne Taittinger Brut La Française is comprised of 40% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir and 25% Pinot Meunier all fermented in stainless steel tanks and blended with 30% reserve wines. It spends an additional year on the fine lees prior to disgorgement. The aromas are a complex mix of green tree fruits, minerality and fresh bread dough. The palate delivers a clean zesty sensation with a fine mousse and long finish.

Robert Parker –  92 Points: “The NV Brut La Francaise is based on 40% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir and 25% Pinot Meunier, all fermented in stainless steel and blended with 30% of reserve wines. It is a pure, fresh and well-structured Brut that seems more elegant, complex and round than the Brut Reserve. The persistent finish is clear, fresh and well structured, with refreshing lemon flavors and a nice grip. My sample was said to be bottled in 2014 and disgorged in March 2017 with nine grams of dosage. There is good length and tension here as well as sweet cherry aromas in the aftertaste.“
